Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones on the importance of talking about your life in your radio show

Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones has a style similar to mine in one regard: we like to very much go off the beaten path (at least in small doses). Take his example here in which Matt talks about how he told his audience about a gas station encounter.

Yes I do, I think they add a good dynamic to the show. And they always say you’ll have more loyal listeners if they feel like they know you and can get along with you.

IMO, this is absolutely paramount. Is there a good story you’ve talked about during your show before?

I like to talk about stories that are recent that happened to me, or stories that are funny and downgrade me a bit. Like Texas/OU wknd this year I was out with some friends and some girls and we went to a club where Kenny Vaccaro and a bunch of ex-Texas players were and they had a booth rented out and before we knew it we no longer had the girls with us, Kenny Vaccaro and his boys did lol We didnt see them the rest of the night. I told that story the next week on my show and it was a hit.

Also like to mention in passing things my Mom or gf may be harping on me currently outside of the office & love at some point on Mondays to have everyone on the show staff to mention how their weekend was and what they did. And on fridays have everyone say what they are doing the upcoming weekend or looking forward to.
